CHITRAL, April 30: Jamaat-i-Islami took out a procession and held a public meeting here on Sunday to protest against the alleged setting up of an FBI camp office here. The procession was led by MNA Shabbir Ahmed Khan and Maulana Abdul Akbar Chitrali and JI district Amir Maulana Sher Aziz. The rally turned into a public meeting at Atalique Chowk.

JI leaders criticised President Pervez Musharraf for yielding to the US at the cost of country’s sovereignty and said that the setting up of the office of the American agency in Chitral was the worst example.
